What is The Jockey Club's checkoff program?
The Jockey Club's checkoff program provides an opportunity for owners and breeders to financially assist five charities by including additional funds (of an amount of their choice) with the foal registration fee.

What organizations are the beneficiaries of the checkoff program?

Thoroughbred owners and breeders can select one of the designated amounts or an amount of their choice to the checkoff program on the Application for Foal Registration form or during the payment process on Interactive Registration™.
